When Doves Cry (pt 2) ☼

Start from the beginning
                                    

Hazel walked off to go inside a jewelry store, leaving Spinner and Baby to find other stores to look through. Suddenly, the couple walked passed Victoria's Secret, when Spinner abruptly stopped, "Can we go in here?"

"You're ridiculous." Baby laughed at the older boy

"Please." He begged, tugging on his girlfriend's arm

"Spinner, if I buy you an ice cream cone will you keep walking?" She asked

"Fine." He whined, swinging their connected hand as they walked

Baby laughed and dragged him along to find Hazel, "I swear you're a little kid."

He smiled and kissed the girl's cheek.

An hour later, Baby and Spinner finally found Hazel. They moved to walk past the food court, spotting Paige and JT laughing at one of the tables. The two older kids smirked at each other before moving to stand in front of their table, clearing their throats to get the table's attention.

"Hazel, what are you doing here?" Paige asked

"What are you doing here? It looks like you're having fun. You've more than earned this." Hazel smiled, handing Paige a $20.

"Wet dream time, is over. Let's go." Spinner added on, putting down more money

Hazel and Spinner walked off from the couple, before Paige reluctantly collected the money and followed.

Baby looked at the embarrassed boy sat at the table, before telling Spinner that she left her wallet at one of the stores and told him she would meet him back at his house.

The blonde girl walked away from the group, neoprene taking the seat where Paige sat before, "Hey, JT." 

"What do you want?" He asked, glaring at the table in front of him

"I wanted to see if you were okay." Baby continued, lowering her voice a bit 

"Why do you care? After the mean things I said to you, why would you care about how I felt?" JT questioned, finally looking up at the girl

"Because I know you didn't mean it." The Roberts girl admitted, grabbing her best friends hand

"I really didn't. I was mad that Paige wouldn't go out with me, and I took it out on you and I'm sorry." He insisted, shocking the girl because JT Yorke wasn't the kind to apologize 

"I'm sorry, too. I should have said something to you about what Paige and them planned to do to you. It was terrible and I'm sorry that I was part of it." Baby spoke

"Friends?" JT asked the girl with a growing smile

"Best friends." The blonde agreed

Suddenly, Baby got a text from Emma telling the girl that she wanted her to go look for Craig at the cemetery. The Nelson girl said Joey and Sean were on their way, but she knew Baby would get there faster, considering the mall was closer.

Baby shot up out of her chair, "I have to go, JT. I'll call you later." She kissed him on the cheek and then ran out of the mall.

BABY GOT TO THE CEMETERY AND found Craig knelt down in front of someone's grave. She thought it best not to do anything until Joey got here, not wanting the teen to run off before they could help.

A couple of minutes went by before Joey and Sean approached the blonde girl. Sean stood next to the girl, while Joey went down to talk to Craig.

"Craig?" Joey gently spoke, making the teen snap his head in their direction

"What do you want?" Craig asked, backing up away from the older man

"Hey, Whoa. I just want to help." Joey replied, slowly creeping closer

"I'm fine!" Craig yelled, making the blonde girl flinch at the loudness of his voice

"Yeah, right, look at you. What is this I hear about you jumping in front of a train?" Joey asked

"Sean told you that?" Craig asked, looking over at us. The older made eye contact with the blonde, who could only offer him an apologetic look

"Well, he's a liar. Liar! Get out of here!" Craig yelled

Sean put his arm around the Roberts girl as they continued to watch their friend emotionally unravel in front of them.

"Calm down, let's get out of here." Joey begged, knowing the boy was close to snapping

"Where am I going to go? Huh? Where am I going to go? Back home so Dad can..." Craig trailed off

"What? Do what? He hits you doesn't he?" Joey asked as Craig tried to walk off

"What?" Baby whispered, quiet enough for only Sean to hear

Sean looked at the girl sadly, but nodded. Realization as to why he had winced when she had hugged him the other day came to mind. His dad had hit him there.

"Doesn't he?" Joey questioned, again

"Yeah, He does." Craig admitted, breaking down in tears and hugging Joey.

The blonde's grip on Shawn tightened, as they watched Craig sob into Joey's arms
